Laravel turned 10 years old today!

I can honestly say that Laravel is the single piece of software that has inspired me the most in my programming career. I can't imagine my life as a developer without Laravel, thank you Taylor and the rest of the awesome Laravel community. Here's to another 10 years 🍻.

I've been working on my next #Solid app, recently I've been playing with some interesting concepts. What if you could use it completely offline, and sync all the changes with your POD when you're back online? #offlinefirst

Jackson Morgan has been posting a series of videos about #Solid, and the last one features Media Kraken!
